《国外金属矿采矿》是我国冶金战线办得成功的刊物之一,得到广大科技人员的喜爱,我从中受到许多教益。当其创刊二十周年之际,特向为之付出辛勤劳动的编辑部同志致以亲切的慰问和衷心的祝贺。我国的有色金属资源丰富,品种齐全,共生元素多,经济价值高,经过三十多年的建设,已形成较为完整的生产体系。最近,国家决定成立中国有色金属工业总公司,实行人、财、物、产、供、销统一,工贸结合,打算把有色金属作为优势产业,加快发展。 “Foreign Metal Mining” is one of the most successful journals in our country’s metallurgy field. It is loved by a large number of scientific and technological personnel and I have received many lessons from it. At the twentieth anniversary of its founding, we warmly congratulate and extend our heartfelt thanks to the editorial department comrades for their hard work. China’s nonferrous metals are rich in resources, complete varieties, many symbiotic elements and high economic value. After more than 30 years of construction, a fairly complete production system has been formed. Recently, the state decided to set up the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Corporation and implemented the principle of integrating people, property, property, production, supply and marketing as well as industry and commerce with the intention of accelerating the development of non-ferrous metals as a dominant industry.
